[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing a career for a man and losing a career for a woman is a big loss of identity. Plus, we’re living through almost a year of lockdown. I make our toddler amazing meals - but we have full-time childcare and a cleaning lady twice a month. Let’s stop mommy shaming and wife shaming. Start cooking on Sundays - crockpot stews; pots of rice or quinoa; baked sweet potatoes; veggie patties. Freeze half. Stock the fridge with pickles, olives, carrot sticks, celery sticks, yogurt, cottage cheese, prepackaged cheeses. Then all she has to do is heat up or make a quick omelet. Feeding your kids is a JOINT task. [/quote]

She is home all day.  This is her job now.  So he should work full time AND do all of the cooking for the entire week on Sunday?  That is bananas.

She can put some chicken breasts in the oven and roast some broccoli.  Cooking doesn't need to be hard, but it does take some planning and effort.  [/quote]

Her job is making sure the kids are fed. It’s not her job to learn how to cook and go through the planning and effort just because she’s the stay at home parent. Yes McDonald’s isn’t ideal, but I’m sure you have a job that you could be doing better but you don’t for various reasons.

Also congrats on having a one year old that will eat chicken breasts and broccoli. Mine didn’t go for food like that until they were six or so. [/quote]
